GOOD TO KNOW It takes only a tablespoon (or two) of olive oil to sauté chicken cutlets to a golden finish. Dredging the chicken in flour first encourages browning, but the temperature of the pan is the real key: Start with a hot skillet, and let the chicken form a crust before turning. After you remove the chicken from the pan, incorporate the browned bits into a quick sauce with wine, herbs, and some butter.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Place flour in a shallow dish. Pat dry chicken, then season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour to coat. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook chicken until browned, 1 to 3 minutes per side, adding more oil to skillet as needed. Transfer each batch of chicken to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
Step 2
Add wine and accumulated juices from chicken to skillet and bring to a boil. Cook until liquid has reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and turn to coat. Remove skillet from heat and swirl in butter and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
